The Chicago Bears have tough trips against playoff teams next season, as well as home games against some of the NFL’s most iconic franchises.
The Bears finished the season in last place in the NFC North with a 5-12 record, but that included a season-ending victory over the Green Bay Packers, ending an 11-game losing streak against their rival the most hated.
Most of the Bears’ schedule for next season was already set, but Sunday’s results helped iron out the final details. Thanks to their defeat and the Carolina Panthers’ victory on Sunday, the New Orleans Saints finished last in the NFC South, earning themselves a trip to Chicago to face the Bears next season.
The Bears will ultimately only host one non-division opponent in the playoffs next season, with the Pittsburgh Steelers coming to Soldier Field. The Bears will also play a home game against the Dallas Cowboys, as they face the NFC East next season.
When it comes to road games, the Bears have some very tough ones on the schedule. They will return to Washington to face the Commanders in a rematch of this season’s infamous Hail Mary game, and they will also head to the East Coast to face the Baltimore Ravens and Philadelphia Eagles.
The Bears will also head west to face the Las Vegas Raiders, who finished in last place in the AFC West.
Here is the full list of the Bears’ 2025 opponents:
Bears home opponents: Cleveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers
Bears Road opponents: Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Las Vegas Raiders, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers, Washington Commanders
The NFL schedule will be released in the spring following the 2025 NFL Draft.
